A DEVOTIONAL  EXERCISE. 


Teacher — Whose  day  is  this? 

School — This  is  the  day  the  Lord  hath  made,  vve 
will  rejoice  and  be  glad  in  it. 

Teacher — Where  shall  we  walk  pray  tell  us ; and 
how  can  we  find  the  way? 

School — In  all  the  ways  acknowledge  Him,  and  he 
shall  diredl  thy  paths. 

Teacher — Where  can  we  look  for  strength  to  help 
us  through  the  day? 

School — The  joy  of  the  Lord  is  in  our  strength. 

Teacher — Where  shall  we  wisdom  find  our  know- 
ledge is  so  small? 

School — Call  unto  me  and  I will  answer  thee  and 
show  thee  great  and  mighty  things  which  thou  know- 
est  not. 

Teacher — Would  the  Lord  be  angry  if  we  should 
chance  to  fall? 

School — The  Lord  is  very  pitiful  and  of  tender 
mercy. 

Teacher — And  does  He  love  us  enough  that  he 
will  help  us  so? 

School — Yea,  He  has  said  I have  loved  thee  with 
an  everlasting  love. 

Teacher — How  can  little  children  serve  the  Lord; 
they  love  Him  and  long  to  know? 

School — Be  kind  to  one  another,  and  what  so-ever 
thy  hands  find  to  do  do  it  with  all  thy  might. 

Teacher — What  is  the  best  thought  we  can  take 
with  us  when  the  day  with  its  lessons  are  o’er? 

School — What  hast  thou  gleaned  to-day  and  who 
made  happy. 

Teacher — Who  will  be  with  us  when  darkness 
comes  once  more? 

School — The  Lord  will  be  with  us  and  watch  over 
us  and  give  us  rest. 

Teacher — Who  leads  us  by  day  as  well  as  watch 
over  us  by  night? 

School — The  Lord  is  my  shepherd  I shall  not  want. 
He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in  green  pastures ; He 
leadeth  me  beside  the  still  waters;  He  restoreth  my 
soul ; He  leadeth  me  in  the  paths  of  righteousness 
for  his  name  sake.
